Gameplay

Metro 2039 is first and foremost a story-rich first-person shooter that combines exploration, survival, combat, and stealth in a tense, immersive atmosphere. Players scavenge for resources, manage limited supplies, and decide whether to fight through threats or slip past them, in a world where the surface is deadlier than ever, with thawing, irradiated terrain and new dangers lurking both above and below ground. First console gameplay footage focuses on raw gameplay, environmental detail, and kinetic combat, showing the technological advances made since 2019's Metro Exodus, with the PlayStation 5 Pro version demonstrating ray tracing at 60 frames per second .

Story

For a quarter century, the last survivors of nuclear war have been locked in bitter conflict deep in the Metro tunnels beneath the poisoned city of Moscow. Now they have finally been united by a single leader, a fanatical Spartan known as Hunter, but this is no peace: his Novoreich regime rules through propaganda and fear, subjugating the population in the name of a new war for the surface against a dark and terrifying enemy. In the wilderness beyond the city, the reclusive Stranger is haunted by violent waking nightmares, and when the ghosts of his past force him out of exile, he must undertake a harrowing journey into the shattered ruins of Moscow .
